[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH should ask SIL to identify the specific doctors your parents would see.[/quote]

OP here. We did. And she said that she believes that especially for Alzheimer's it's much more important to be around family than to get medical treatment. [/quote]

She’s not wrong on this one point. There is basically nothing the medical community can offer Alzheimer’s patients.

What does your FIL want to do? It sounds like he doesn’t have mental issues going on and can weigh in. And what are his medical needs? Focusing on his health seems to be the priority here and not having medical care near your SIL does sound to be an issue.

But it also sounds like even if there was adequate medical care there, you and your husband have concerns about the care they would receive there. I think your husband has to be willing to have some pretty direct conversations with his sister about how she would plan to care for them, what kind of financial support she would need, what happens if it’s not working, etc. And for your husband to lay out his concerns.

On the face of it, offering to have them move in sounds like a good solution but not if they won’t be well-cares for, can’t get medical care for your FIL and if they are only doing this for the money. [/quote]
